Inspiration
Buying a home is one of the most stressful, opaque, and confusing processes people go through. From endless searches to navigating loans and paperwork, it often feels like there’s no one guiding you through it. We wanted to build an AI-powered platform that not only simplifies the journey—but acts like a real estate coach that stays with you for life.
What it does
Keyvi AI is a lifetime real estate assistant. It helps users:
Find homes that match their taste, lifestyle, and financial situation
Understand if they can afford the home (and how to get there if not)
Access personalized loan and grant options
Get a step-by-step plan from pre-approval to move-in
Stay supported post-purchase with tools like Decorator AI, maintenance tracking, and more
How we built it
We started with a structured onboarding quiz built using React, integrated with a real-time recommendation engine powered by Groq and LLama. We used Perplexity APIs to fetch listings, and trained our match algorithm using affordability logic and financial rules. Team collaboration happened in real time during the hackathon using Cursor.
Challenges we ran into Gathering reliable, real-time listing data and aligning it with financial APIs
Mapping affordability logic in a simple and user-friendly way
Integrating multiple services (like document storage, expert booking, and AI suggestions) into a seamless flow
Avoiding scope creep—we had many ideas and had to prioritize core features
Accomplishments that we're proud of Built a functional onboarding flow with personalized results in less than 24 hours
Integrated financial checks and smart matching to guide users toward real homeownership
Created a clean, user-first interface that works across desktop and mobile
Designed a future-facing roadmap that goes beyond just buying a home
What we learned Most people don’t need more listings—they need clarity and a path
AI can’t replace experts, but it can act as the best first line of support
Building trust in fintech or proptech products starts with transparency and simplicity
Fast collaboration and tight team alignment are more valuable than over-engineering
What's next for Keyvi AI Launch the MVP to help first-time buyers in Canada
Expand into the U.S. market with more data integrations
Partner with realtors, brokers, and financial institutions to improve accuracy and user support
Add post-purchase and investment tools to build a long-term ecosystem
Seek early adopters for feedback and iterate quickly toward product–market fit
